Protect YourselfWhen you have developed an idea

that can be safeguarded, do it. At this point it is property, Intellectual Property.

Intellectual Property

"Intellectual Property" is the result of your intellectual creativity.

Intellectual Property Defined Intellectual property (IP) refers to

the creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, as well as symbols, names, pictures, designs and models used in business.

Intellectual Property Defined Intellectual Property is protected

by law in Canada, but is not policed; owners of Intellectual Property are responsible for monitoring it themselves.

You must register Intellectual Property with the Federal Government (apply and pay a fee of $200 or more).

PATENTS

Patents are granted for inventions - that is, new kinds of technology such as the telephone, bubble gum, and the zipper (a Canadian invention by Gideon Sundback).

The issuance of a patent gives you the right to stop others from manufacturing, using or selling your invention in Canada, beginning from the date of issue, up to a maximum period of 20 years from the date of filing of your application.

Canada’s Copy Fight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sf2ryxH6Bw

Millions of Canadians download copyrighted music they didn't pay for. This can't be legal, right? Think again.

Instead of using legitimate pay-to-play online music stores, such as iTunes, many are using peer-to-peer file-sharing services to snag the latest song, album, or in some cases, the entire discography from their favorite artist. So, why aren't Canadians getting sued for doing so, like our American neighbors?

Illegal Downloading

Renowned professor and newspaper columnist, Dr. Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, was asked if indeed it's legal to download pirated music in Canada.

The answer is yes, but it's "somewhat complicated," says Geist. He explains:   Canada has a private copying levy, which grants the right to make personal, non-commercial copies of sound recordings. The Copyright Board of Canada has ruled that the source of the music for the copy does not matter. This means it could be a copy of a CD you own.
